Im so upset.  I was supposed to go out of state today just to have some time to myself but I woke up feeling sick and in alot of pain.  My friend took me to the hospital and I found out I have a kidney stone so they gave me lots of meds so Im too tired to do anything.  Now I just have to wait till it passes and pray it doesnt hurt too bad.

((((Hugs Tina)))))), praying that the stone passes quickly and easily.  I have heard that kidney stones can be more painful than labor.  Use the meds as needed and drink, drink to flood the rock on out of your system.  Do they have you straining your urine to catch the culprit?  Sending the offending stone in for analysis can help to determine what can be done to prevent further stones. 

Take it easy this weekend.  Hugs

 Hi Tina,

I've had kidney stones a few times.  To be blunt, they suck!  So sorry you missed out on your "me" time, hopefully you can arrange another opportunity once this passes.  Good luck!

Awwwwwww Tina! I am so sorry that you are going through this. I know it is very painful and I hope you find relief soon. Are they just having you pass the stones on your own, or will they be doing something further to reduce them and make it easier on you?

I also really feel for you, in having to cancel your "me time". It can be so necessary for us to maintain some kind of peace and sanity in our lives. I know that about every 3 months I start to crave the "me time" that I so desperately need being a caregiver to my husband.

I hope you get this knocked out and get better and can get away for some personal rejuvination very soon. Keep us posted on how you are!
